(Euronews) The food crisis and rising energy prices could lead to instability in some countries and prompt new waves of migration to the European Union, the Commission has warned.
Ylva Johansson, EU commissioner for home affairs, told reporters following an informal meeting of ministers in Prague on Monday that tensions caused by the food crisis and the sharp surge in energy prices “could lead to other insecurity situations like countries being unstable, terrorist groups being stronger, organised criminal groups being stronger.”
“That means people can find themselves in a situation where they don’t feel safe to stay in their country and then start moving. Of course, this is a huge challenge,” she added.
